Introduction: In this study, we used a mathematical epidemic model to explore the status of the HIV epidemic in the USA and Pakistan. In addition to studying the dynamics of the model, we fitted the model with recent data to estimate the parameters describing the epidemic in both countries.
Results: Our estimation shows that in the USA, the reproduction number is 0.
This article provides a dataset for line × tester analysis in the F1 generation of summer tomatoes using open-source R statistical software and the 'agricolae' package. The dataset includes seven inbred lines as female parents (L) and two testers as male parents (T) with diverse genetic bases and heat tolerance qualities. Fourteen cross combinations were produced through L × T (7 × 2) mating design, involving hybridization between lines () and testers () in a one-to-one fashion.

Despite having simplistic genetic structures among all living beings, viruses are highly adaptable, resilient, and capable of causing severe complications in their hosts' bodies. Due to their multiple transmission pathways, high contagion rate, and lethality, viruses pose the biggest biological threat both animal and plant species face.
